Sibéal Pounder used to work for the Financial Times, where she researched the How To Spend It section and wrote the For Goodness' Sake column - interviewing everyone from Veronica Etro to Vivienne Westwood. Now she writes about fabulous witches and feisty fairies in Witch Wars, her much loved series for Bloomsbury. Other writing credits include Vogue.com and fashion trend forecasting company WGSN, and she volunteers at the Media Trust, teaching kids who want to get into journalism. Sibéal studied History at St Andrews, Publishing at City, Quentin Tarantino films at Yale and recently completed the Faber Academy's Writing for Children course. Sibéal's first book, Witch Wars, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2016.

Laura Ellen Anderson is a professional children's book author and illustrator with an increasing addiction to coffee (that is when she's not trying to take over the world or fighting sock-stealing monsters). She spends every waking hour creating and drawing and would quite like to live on the moon when humans finally make it possible. Laura is also the author-illustrator of the Amelia Fang series.

It's a new era for the Witch Wars witches. Felicity Bat is no longer evil, Tiga has at last found her mum and there's the whole of Silver City to explore. But it's not long before the witches find themselves at the centre of another adventure. When a magical book called The Karens offers to grant Fran the Fabulous Fairy's dearest wish, it seems too good to be true. And it is. Before you can say 'frogknuckles', Tiga and the gang are in a race against time - can they save Fran before she explodes in a large ball of glittery dust?

...crammed with magic and mystery, fashionable spells and properly laugh out loud humour. My seven-year-old super fan's most anticipated book of the year.

It is jam packed with adventure, magic and silly spells, as well as feisty, brave protagonists. Sure to satisfy fans of the series.

...wildly inventive and told at breakneck speed, the Witch Wars stories crackle with energy.

Silly spells, delectable dresses, magical mishaps and ridiculous riddles, this is a witch story like no other - and it's a blast!

A completely fresh and fun take on witches, Witch Wars is for anyone who likes magic, adventure, fashion or a fabulous story

The craziest and funniest book I've read in ages. WITCH WARS IS A GO!

Fizzing with fun
